The storied Argentine side Estudiantes de La Plata boasts one of the most raucous home atmospheres across South American football, and has long built its playing style around high-intensity physical duels. They eliminated Universidad Católica and Corinthians in consecutive Copa Libertadores knockout ties to advance to the semi-finals, with impressively solid home form throughout that run. However, their defensive line has taken a major hit: two first-choice defenders are suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, forcing a reshuffle of their central defensive partnership that brings obvious concerns over backline chemistry. Their attack is not particularly prolific, with most threats generated from wide crosses and set pieces, while their forward line lacks consistent finishing quality. With a congested schedule across two competitions draining their fitness, their clear core strategy for this first leg is to hold firm at home and avoid conceding an away goal as much as possible.

Estudiantes de La Plata, the long-standing Argentine top-tier powerhouse, is backed by a famously fervent home fanbase and well-known for their high-intensity, physical playing style. They have fought their way to the semi-finals after eliminating Corinthians in earlier knockout rounds, with rock-solid home form: they have failed to pick up points in just one of their last 9 home matches. Their pragmatic tactical setup relies on a deep low block, generating offensive threats via quick counter-attacks and second-ball contests from set pieces. That said, the team has clear hidden flaws at the moment. Two first-choice defenders are suspended due to yellow card accumulation, which has lowered their backline's defensive synergy. Their attacking core Joaquín Correa is also dealing with an injury, making their finishing inside the box far less effective. The side lacks consistent strong pressing capacity, and their offense will easily grind to a halt if they get trapped in extended positiona

Levante will adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation at home and take the initiative to attack. Relying on the home atmosphere, their main goal-scoring methods are crosses from the flanks and the striker Brugi's opportunist goals in the middle. However, there is a risk. When they push forward aggressively, there will be gaps behind their defense, which Athletic Bilbao can take advantage of for quick counterattacks on the flanks. If they lose the midfield battle, their defense will be under continuous pressure. Recently, Bilbao has been deploying a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on flanking attacks and through runs in the half-spaces. They heavily rely on the individual skills of Williams to create goal-scoring opportunities. When playing away, they won't rush into all-out attacks blindly. Instead, they prioritize a solid defensive setup and look to capitalize on counterattacks. If Guruzeta is absent, their efficiency in breaking down opponents' defenses in positional play will decline, and they'll have
